1. Sending samples of rockets to Europe
Laslo Nagy ,   Budapest   (05.24.07)
Ttoally crazy. Isarael has nothing to prove. The proff is seen on TV everyday. Hamas shoudl be proving why they are doing this. Israel must hit Hamas as hard as possible/ Colateral damage is what it is.
2. good, maybe they can see how primitive they are
papa jay   (05.25.07)
they are the weapons of the weak. maybe the EU can send some guidance ships to be installed in the qassams so they wont have to hit civilians but IDF bases?
3. Even if you sent the broken bodies of terror
Eurabia wouldnt care ,   Alan Sa   (05.25.07)
4. We are all Israeli Ambassadors
enzo ,   london,uk   (05.25.07)
5. Good stuff
Mike   (05.25.07)
Why you do not send out some of the most sofosticated rockets that you guys using to kill Palestinians.You just deceiving the world using these dirty tricks...
6. Another Livni BRILLIANT CREATIVE "idea"
malcolm   (05.25.07)
"Why...I'll SHOW them the Qassams!!!" JUst like "Show & Tell" in kindergarten. What a pathetic imbecile. Her wimpy voice is weak at best. She is the Mistress of TOTAL Surrender. Retreat is the only word in her strategic vocabulary. And she's in love with ALL her"ideas".
7. #2 primitive or not, Qassams are a proven threat
(05.25.07)
A slingshot is also a primitive weapon, but that didn't stop David.
8. papa jay
Korem ,   New York, USA   (05.25.07)
You know what? If all this time, the Palestinians had been firing at IDF bases and not at civilians, this conflict would be radically different. Hamas and co would still be a hated enemy, but not terrorist trash, and when 2 groups are fighting only each other's military fighters, peace can be reached much easier. But installing "guidance chips" now is way too late.
9. This is the news i have been waiting for.
Y ,   N   (05.25.07)
Get your PR macj\hine rolling. The palis and arabs have been lying for 60 years about whats going on between Israel and its arab neighbours. Its time to correct this picture. Let me suggest that you also set the focus on the human right situation in the arab states and their lack of press freedom. Israel have a lot of work waiting but you will be sucessfull. But it will take time to change the attitude of people in the west. But things are changing. We have seen the ugly face of the palis and arabs in the past years and this will benefit Israel in the long run.
10. Will not help. What's a piece of metal saying really?
(05.25.07)
11. Poor confused papa jay (2)
sk ,   USA   (05.25.07)
"they are the weapons of the weak." Kassams are the weapons of those who cannot design anything better because they learn only to hate, not to build. Kassams are weapons of choice for these killers because they are so inaccurate they can ONLY be used for "countervalue" strikes (e.g., killing people eating dinner). They are useless for "counterforce" strikes (destroying the other side's military assets). You're doubly confused, though, papa. Just because some group is weak, it does not follow that it is virtuous or that its cause is just. I suppose this subtlety escapes you.
12. To the perennially dimwitted papajay:
Huh? ,   USA   (05.25.07)
Do you really think the Hamas murderers would bother hitting civilians if they could take out IDF bases instead? You are really stupider than dirt.
13. Sending rockets to Europe
Eric ,   Homdel USA   (05.25.07)
Imagine if German freedom fighters from Kehl were firing rockets from the Weststrasse into Strasbourg to encourage the French to end their occupation of the Alsace! In a perfect world, the French would just suck it up and talk about land concessions. Perhaps if the French gave back the Alsace and Loraine, the Germans would give up on their jihad to recover all of historical greater (c. 1942) Germany.
14. Response to the rocket casing shrapnal being sent to Europe
Judith Lewin ,   Canada   (05.25.07)
I think this is a great article and idea. However, I also believe that those sending these examples of destruction have neglected to send them to Canadian Government as well as the US. With so many landing I am sure you can send pieces to the major papers of the World as well. I pray for the people who live under the shadow of terror...remember...you also live under THE SHADOW of tTHE ALMIGHTY! Shalom! Judith
15. Israel >Qassams > EU
Heatherross ,   USA   (05.25.07)
A piece of metal is forensic evidence that can be traced to manufacturer, etc. As Iran pushes against the western cultures, Germany will rise to the occasion, oh, yes they will. Hide and watch, When has Germany since 1870 failed not to start a war? At least someone's got to start, of course, it is what Iran wants, then all hell will break lose. Of course, Israel could call up Germany, since USA is on vacation from life, and ask them to push the button on war, I bet the German's would love it. Of course, no one believes me, hmmm, hmmm, just wait and see. hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
16. Finally Israelis are doing something very smart!!
Merrill ,   New York, USA   (05.25.07)
When Israelis shoot at terrorists who use Palestinian civilians as shields in Palestinian self-ruled territories, and collateral damages take place - they are called "heartless killers" and "occupiers". When Israelis use collective punishment against population that supports, cultivates and harbors terrorists, they are "violating Geneva convention". The only way for Israeli to fight back and look ok in the eyes of European hippies is massive PR campaigns like this one. Americans understand what's really going on, Asians don't care and Muslims are brainwashed to hate Israelis/Jews no matter what. That's our only real chance to win this war - hit terrorists hard while waging a smart, calculated PR campaign. BRAVO!!
17. Send maps of illegal Israeli only settlements & out posts
A Bethlehemite   (05.25.07)
while you're at it. We had no Hamas while Israel expanded and choked the Pals in the late 80s... end result: 1st intiifada Ylou cage people so you can illegally expand, you will need PR cover up
18. Send more rockets to UN
W. Hutchinson ,   Toronto, Canada   (05.25.07)
For all the use that the UN is in instituting or keeping peace since its founding, perhaps Israel should one good long range missile with a nuclear warhead right into the UN building. This will create more peace. The fanatical Arabs will not have control of most of the seats there and to collaberate mischief against Israel and the U.S. will not have to worry about vetoing their whining and moaning lies used to persecute Israel. It will save more grief and less work all around. The Arabs will just have to resort to cowardly terrorism to acheive their goals all by themselfs without their idol......the Terroristic UN behind them.
19. Bethlehemite (17): how 'bout a bar chart ...
sk ,   USA   (05.25.07)
of the percentage Christian in your city over the last 15 years? Maybe show an overlay consisting of the year that PA got control over it.
20. #17 Same Difference
PaleSTANian ,   Hamasville   (05.25.07)
You can quit complaining about Israelis fighting over a cheesy piece of real estate. Islamists are "illegally expanding" all over the globe! It is obviously an evil plot by the minions of Farfur Mouse to seek world domination for Islam . This is not propaganda. It is the truth. Farfur told me so. [brainwashed idiocy off]
21. #2 PAPA PALI PECKER BRAIN
jerome ,   basalt, co   (05.25.07)
THE PALISTIANS WANT TO HIT WOAMAN AND CHILDREN AND ANYBODY JEWISH CIVILIAN OR NOT! BUT YOU CAN'T BE STUPID ENOUGH TO NOT KNOW THIS ALREADY, CAN YOU?!?!?!
22. Better send rockets airmail to Iran
Rick ,   USA   (05.25.07)
Make sure they are nuclear.
23. STUPIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JB   (05.25.07)
BOMB BOMB BOMB & BOMB the enemy thats what you do, let the world see that WE DO NOT TOLERATE TERROR IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM. If they have a problem let them try to stop it their way until then we do what works, (I'm not talking about the stupit TIT for TAT that Israel has been doing) BOMB them until they scream STOP in addition to shutting their electric, water etc. watch how fast terror will stop (& if it wont then we will finnish them off, yes!!!!!!!!!!! If someone tries to kill you you kill him first
24. Better idea?
Arabian Wolf   (05.25.07)
Send IOF occupation troops and roadblocks and build walls around big cities.. That should give Europeans some ideas what Palestinians feel. Then shoot some shells randomly like you do in Palestine
25. #5 hahaha Pallywood is the proof
rachel ,   usa   (05.25.07)
of dirty tricks ...dear mike
26. #11 VERY WELL SAID
rachel ,   usa   (05.25.07)
27. Qassam shrapnel to Europe
Shalom ,   Berkeley USA   (05.25.07)
A good move. About time the ambassadors earn their pay!
28. #16
Joe ,   Brooklyn, NY   (05.25.07)
Haha translation of #16's post: All Europeans are Israel-hating hippies, Americans are stupid, Asians are apathetic, and all Muslims are brainwashed anti-Semites. I've never seen a better example of what "stereotyping" is in my entire life.
29. Send the kassam shrapnels to Newspapers
Marcelo ,   World   (05.25.07)
Send these missile shrapnels to BBC, Al Jazeera, Al Hayat, and all the rest with a clear diagram of how these Kassam kill women and children in south Israel. Detail how many seconds it takes for its thousands of metal balls penetrate human flesh. Compare the difference in time between penetrating old women flesh and childs flesh.
30. better solution - fire kassams back at them!
Rajiv ,   Sydney   (05.25.07)
